Even though it's not obligatory, you can use the `split` module
to split input by newlines. For example:

var split = require('split');

`split` will buffer chunks on newlines before you get them. With example
above, we will get separate events for each line even though all the data
probably arrives on the same chunk:

$ echo -e 'one\ntwo\nthree' | node split.js
'one'

Your own program should use `split` in this way, but you should transform the
input and pipe the output through to `process.stdout`.
Your own program could use `split` in this way, and you should transform the
input and pipe the output through to `process.stdout`. Keep in mind that,
if you decide to use this technique, `split2` might be actually needed,
depending on the versions of the other dependencies.

You are free to solve the challenge without `split` module. In this case,
you would have to add a new line after each line to have a passing match.

Make sure to `npm install split through2` in the directory where your solution
file lives.
